Raffles Hotels & Resorts continues its pace of expansion with a new luxury resort in Bali, Indonesia. In an agreement signed with PT Asia Pasifik Properti, a subsidiary of the Rekso Group, Raffles Hotels & Resorts will manage Raffles Amartha, which will be located along the scenic Jimbaran coast. Raffles Amartha is scheduled to open in 2010 and
features a resort comprising approximately 90 luxurious villas, and 25 Raffles Residences for private ownership. Occupying a sprawling 11 hectares, Raffles Amartha is built to resemble a Water Palace, with inspiration drawn from classical Javanese-Hindu architecture and style, characterised by open spaces, water features and walled courtyards on rising terraces.
The centrepiece of the Water Palace is the resort’s lobby. Sitting high on a terrace, it overlooks the resort’s water gardens, pavilions and villas, offering residents commanding views of the ocean as they gaze across the landscaped grounds.
Raffles Amartha is bordered by a cliff above the beach (commonly referred to as ‘dreamland beach’), and an 18-hole golf course. Each villa at Raffles Amartha features a
private plunge pool and sun deck, and most are located on terraces, ensuring panoramic views of the ocean or golf course, as well as the private and intimate feel that Raffles is renowned for. Residents in search of supreme exclusivity can look forward to the Presidential Villa or the spacious 5-bedroom Raffles Residence along the cliff.
While in residency at Raffles Amartha, one can lounge by the infinity swimming pool perched at the cliff top, or indulge in the sumptuous range of culinary creations at the allday
dining restaurant or the resort’s specialty restaurant. The lobby court will serve freshly brewed coffee and tea, and a wide range of cocktails, while the Cave Bar by the beach is ideal for drinks, finger-food and barbeques.
With an expansive 2000 square metres Raffles Amrita Spa at the resort, residents will also
be pampered by skilled therapists as they experience the spa’s extensive massage and wellness options. RafflesAmrita Spa is a signature component of Raffles hotels and resorts found around the world. According to an ancient Sanskrit legend, ‘Amrita’ was the magical elixir of youth sought by deities. Raffles Amrita Spa at Raffles Hotel and Raffles The Plaza in Singapore, as well as Raffles Resort Canouan Island in The Grenadines, have all been acknowledged as best spa in their respective destinations.
Raffles Amartha will also feature a cliff-top wedding pavilion, and couples can plan an unforgettable wedding or even renew their vows in this romantic setting, accompanied by sweeping ocean views and an amazing sunset.
The resort is located only 15 minutes away from Bali’s international airport, Denpasar.
“Raffles Amartha, with its iconic location and unique concept, will be the preferred home-away-from-home for privileged travellers in Bali. Raffles Hotels & Resorts is
renowned for peerless service, creative cuisine concepts and gracious hospitality and we are very pleased to be working with them on this project,” commented Mr Sukowati
Sosrodjojo, Chief Executive Officer, Rekso Group.
Said Mrs Diana Ee-Tan, Managing Director of Raffles Hotels & Resorts, “Bali is an island of incredible beauty, steeped in heritage, art and culture. Raffles has long wanted
to have a resort here and we are thrilled that PT Asia Pasifik Properti has entrusted Raffles to operate this spectacular development. We are simply delighted to be able to bring the Raffles difference to this much sought after destination.”
